Description
The PXI-8368 remote controller, bearing part numbers 157298A-02L and 789394-01, falls within the category of PXI Remote Controllers. This model is designed to ensure robust and efficient management of PXI systems. It features 2 LEDs that serve as indicators for the PCI Express link status, providing immediate visual feedback on the connection’s health and activity.
It is crucial to follow the recommended power-down sequence for the PXI-8368, which advises not to power off the expansion chassis before the host PC. This precaution helps in preventing data loss or hardware damage that could occur due to an improper shutdown process.
The connection type supported by the PXI-8368 is exclusively fiber-optic links. This specificity ensures that the device is optimized for high-speed, reliable data transmission over longer distances without the susceptibility to electromagnetic interference that copper cables might face.
Furthermore, the PXI-8368 offers compatibility with different cabling types for varied performance needs. It supports copper cabling for Gen2 x8 (3.2 GB/s), suitable for scenarios that demand high data throughput, and fiber-optic cabling for Gen2 x4 (1.6 GB/s), which, while offering lower throughput, provides the benefits of optical transmission including enhanced signal integrity over long distances.
